A bold attempt to bum the (Jounty
Court House in Stroudsburg by a prisoner
was discovered early last Friday morning
in time to prevent a great lost of property
and probably of life The prisoner was a
woman, named Frances Staiiard, who Was
placed in the Grand Jury room on Monday
last to await trial on a charge of larceny,
the jail being in course of reaonstruotion.
bhehid several times made threats that
she would burn the building down if the
was not released, About 3 o'olock on
Friday morning the janitor's wifv was
awakencu by smoke in Ihe building, and
upon investigating the same, discovered
flames bursting out of the door of the
prisoner's room. She at once gave the
alarm, and by great 'effort the fire was ex
tinguished. Nearly all the floor was
burned away and several of the beams. It
was at first supposed the woman had per
ished in ihe fltmes, but latter it was
learned that she had escaped bf a window
n tho room. It wis also discovered that
she had removed the door from a Urge
base-burning stove in the room, and up
setting it on the floor, had piled the bediug
aud furniture upon it- No trace of ihe
escapeJ incendiary his as yet been discov
ered, the is a stranger in the vicinity.
She appeared in Jackson township Monroe
county, about two weeks ago and professed
to be a peddler of notions, visiting the
houses in that section to dispose of her
wates. About 1 o'o'ock on Monday morn
ing last a farmer named James ekien, liv
ing in the above township, was awakened
by the pretence of rome one in his room
He juuiped from his bed nnd captured, the
intruder who was about escaping from a
window, and who fired a pistol shot at the
farmer, It pi ovid td be this woman. He had
made u purchase of her the day before mid
she had ho doudt noticed 'hat he had a large
amount of money in his pocket-book. She
nad secured the fanner's ptntaloons con
taining money, and had them in her posses
ion when ciptured Monday he brought
bsptisoner to that place, where she was
confined and escaped as Stated. She was
evidently a French woman, about twen-y-
five years of age and quiK attractive l.n ap
